Economics is a social science concerned with how society allocates its limited resources. Economists normally take a utilitarian view of the world, being more concerned with the most efficient systems than with social equity, or societal values.
It is generally accepted that economics was created as a science by Adam Smith, in his book An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. Examples of systems in macroeconomics are capitalism, socialism, and communism.
